Re: Vision and Hearing Screening

[Guest guest]

Beth, hi. My name is Judy and I am new to the list. Is there any way for you

to take Beth to a specialist? Maybe her pediatrician has some suggestions as

well. Judy

ok, a little background first

Beth is in two different schools. She is in an ECDD class 4 days a week and

in a reg ed preschool class two afternoons a week. In early December, she

got her hearing and vision tested in her ECDD class and we got a note back

that she did not pass her hearing test. I blew it off thinking she just didn't

do it. well this week she was tested in her reg ed preschool. I talked to

the teacher, she failed the hearing part again. Her teacher said that she co

operated. The teacher didn't tell the testers about the autism. After the

test was done she made sure that they new she was autistic to see if that had

anything to do with the results, they said no.

Here's the thing, should I worry? We've never had issues with her other

than her selective hearing. When she is so engrossed in something. I don't

think there is anythign wrong, but will we have issues getting her enrolled in

Kindergarten becuase of this. Any advice or ideas are welcome.

We had to take our daughter to the Childrens Hospital where they have a special

room to test hearing with kids that have developmental delays and autism. She

has no hearing problems according to the childrens hospital. She did not pass

the traditional hearing tests in the schools because I believe she did not

understand what they wanted from her. Just my experience. Hope they can find

another way to test your daughter to find out for sure.

Hi! We also had to take our daughter to a special room for hearing tests

done at our local children's hospital. She had to wear special headphones

and was given a different type of test. This was only done after she had

also failed the regular hearing test at her pediatrician's office because

she didn't understand how to take the test. You should have a hospital that

can provide this test.

Crystal, those family docs are the best kind. That's what I have for my

daughter, she was diagnosed with Asperger and sensory dep. disorder. He has been

wonderful. I will pray for you and your daughter. Judy

Right now it has to wait, DH is unemployeed and we have no insurance. Once

we have insurance I'll be looking into a Ped (we just had a family dr before)

who specializes in dealing with Autistic kids.

I didn't like ours. It was a training place for residents, so every year we

ended up with a new Dr and NONE of them knew anything about autism, I ended up

having to explain it to them.

A hearing test to a child with Autism, that is hystericial! You need to get an

ABR test at a Children's hospital. They put you to sleep and hook you up to

electrodes and send the signals and your brain registers if it hears or not.

That is so funny! A hearing test. Sorry, but this only illustrates HOW much

they really need MORE education on Autism.

My daughter now 15 was about 15/16 months old when she went to the

Newington (CT) Children's Hospital for the ABR test. Since she was just a

toddler they wanted me to administer her sedative suppository style, to get

her to sleep. Did it, wasn't pleasant for her, and SHE FOUGHT it. They

couldn't do it.

Brought her to the Hospital AGAIN, for standard hearing test in

booth....didn't work either....

Then AGAIN brought her to UCONN in Farmington to have another audiologist do

it, again in the hearing booth...and this woman was ABLE to determine that

was able to hear. She was correct!! So it was trial and error

basically. She was almost 2, so it took five or so months between all these

apointments to FINALLY be able to determine if she could hear to make her

final autism diagnosis possible.
